Para la distención y los pseudoecologistas: Nothing but Flowers

Les pido perdón antes que nada, pero vengo de una acalorada discusión sobre ecología y los recursos en vías de extinción en nuestro planeta. Una cosa es la conciencia de la devastación realizada por el hombre y de la necesidad de una rápida implementación de tecnologías que dejen de agredir al ecosistema (aunque para los que no lo saben aún, el proceso es irreversible) y otra muy distinta es intentar que la humanidad piense y viva como un mono en mitad de la naturaleza. Esta clase –la segunda- de pensamientos incomprensibles es comúnmente acompañada por ciertos mamíferos avanzados que se empeñan en defenderlos, algunos de los cuales se encuentran entre nosotros más sutilmente que los Heroes de la serie del Universal Channel. A todos estos 'mamíferos avanzados', les dedicamos la magnífica canción de Talking Heads, compuesta por su líder David Byrne hace dos décadas para el disco NAKED. Pueden Bailar.

Here we stand, Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls, The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love, So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees, Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs, Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?, Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory, Now there are mountains and rivers
you got it, you got it
We caught a rattlesnake, Now we got something for dinner
we got it, we got it
There was a shopping mall, Now it's all covered with flowers
you've got it, you've got it
If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower
you've got it, you've got it

Years ago, I was an angry young man
I'd pretend, That I was a billboard
Standing tall, By the side of the road
I fell in love, With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate, Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town, Now, it's nothing but flowers
The highways and cars, Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over, But I guess I was wrong

Once there were parking lots, Now it's a peaceful oasis
you got it, you got it
This was a Pizza Hut, Now it's all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it
I miss the honky tonks, Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
you got it, you got it
And as things fell apart, Nobody paid much attention
you got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies, Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
you got it, you got it
We used to microwave, Now we just eat nuts and berries
you got it, you got it
This was a discount store, Now it's turned into a cornfield
you got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here, I can't get used to this lifestyle
